We read many reviews about summer island. We were not disapointed, infact more suprised it exceeded our expectations, Firstly the island is beautiful, All staff very welcoming and friendly. The island is very well kept, they are in the process of upgradeing which did not affect our holiday, the food was very good with lots of choices , we had a superior bungalow right on beach and have to say very well fitted out, rooms were cleaned at least 2 times a day, so many fish in the sea, snorkelling we swam with a turtle you could go out on boat daily to other reefs which was free up to twice a day, if you wanted to go more their was a small charge,we would not hesitate to go back again, also some evenings around 4 4.30 they feed the fish of the jetty a real crowd pleaser, all sort of fish waiting what a sight

I have read other reviews on this resort and cant quite understand why the resort gets negative reviews.......we have visited this island 3 years running and are currenlty in the process of booking again for next year.......

There is some work being carried out on the island which involves maintaining the sand and some rooms are being renovated but this does not cause any problems to the holiday makers or cause any inconvenience or noise

The food is as good as ever....the rooms are clean and the staff very friendly and go out of their way to help and make your holiday as enjoyable as possible

Dont miss out on a great holiday by taking notice of these negative reviews......Summer Island Village is a great resort

This island is lovely, staff very friendly, lovely and relaxing. Great for snorkelling. Food was very nice, we had the meal on the beach, very romantic! We stayed in a water bungalow and it was great to see the fish swimming underneath through the glass panel in the floor.

It was my dream to go to the Maldives and after a perfect week on the Attoll Explorer we went onto Sumer Island. Maybe not the best of the resorts, but still very good. We had a water villa with a glass floor to watch the fish and this gave us our own area on the beach. It was very chilled out, everywhere was sand even in the restaurant. The food was ok, as with all All Inclusive hotels, the restaurant is a bit like a canteen. The only thing lacking was waiter service to the beach for drinks.

I stayed in over 20 resorts whilst working in the maldives and would not recommend this one. For me it was one of the worst. Tired and run down with few facilities. Rooms were simple with few amenites and shampoo in a box by the shower. Push for a squirt of shampoo! Not a romantic place and there are so many better resorts. Food was about average fora canteen. We left early and took a Dhoni over to the next island, Eriyadu Island resort, which with its lovely thatched rooms, I can recommend

Room Tip: Sorry but I was not impressed with any of the rooms

This resort is located on a fantastic island. It is a shame that it is a bit run down. The bungalows definitely need renovation. Food varies between bad to average, although the cooks are very nice and desserts are delicious. The massage offered is excellent. The island is small and perfect for couples and everyone who enjoys snorkeling and diving.

I travelled with my partner to Summer Island Village in September 2010. By the look of recent reviews nothing has really changed.If you want 5 star luxury then this clearly isn't the island for you. If you want a reasonably priced taste of the The Maldives then I think this is ideal. I usually travel to 4 and 5 star All inclusives in the caribbean and had never travelled to the Indian ocean before.We had a fantastic week here. The weather was not great and we had some days of heavy rain which you would expect travelling here in September. There is not loads to do but is a nice place to kick back, relax and do very little.The food is adequate without ever being impressive. We really wanted to have a private meal on a sand bar but were unable to do this due to the weather.The accomodation is basic but clean. The room attendants were cleaning and sweeping the floor of our beach bungalow twice a day which was far more than i expected. We stayed on the lagoon side of the island which was my preference prior to the holiday from reviews I had read as the beach is considerably wider. I emailed Mr Waheed 2 weeks before departure and I got a bungalow exactly where I had asked for it. Mr Waheed was helpful and friendly on the island and personally handed us a towel to cool down when we got off the sea plane. I would not recommend the water bungalows as they look like council flats on stilts and heard other guests complaining about them and their price whilst I was there.The sea is lovely and the small black tip reef shark were regularly swimming around in the lagoon. Load of stingrays around when they were being fed on the jetty.We went diving with the Summer island willage dive school. I have done approaching 100 dives and my partner had never done any. She did a try dive off the beach and saw an eagle ray almost next to the jetty. We then both did a dive to the house 'reef' which was almost non existent although still plenty for both of us to see in the way of marine life. We then went on to do a couple of boat dives which were excellent even though this is far from the best time of year. The dive school catered for both of us and I remember being pleasantly surprised when it came to paying the bill.The next time I travel to the Maldives I would be unlikely to stay here again as I would upscale quite a bit. All in all I have no complaints and would recommend it to others who want to see the Maldives on a budget.
